Nicaragua to ban 2 U.S. lawmakers over sanctions on Venezuela

Nicaragua to ban 2 U.S. lawmakers over sanctions on Venezuela

Nicaragua’s president said he is banning Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen from traveling to the Central American country in protest of the Venezuela sanctions the two helped pass in Congress on Wednesday, according to a newspaper report.

“Just like they (U.S. officials) have their lists, we can make our own lists in Latin America of those who shouldn’t enter our country,” Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega told the Tico Times, a Costa Rican paper, during a meeting with Venezuelan officials in his country.

Rubio mocked Ortega’s decision on Twitter: “Oh no! My summer vacation plans are ruined!”

The sanctions, primarily aimed at Venezuelan officials and proxies involved in the violent suppression of pro-democracy activists, would ban them from traveling or staying in the United States and would freeze any U.S. assets. President Baracl Obama plans to sign the legislation.

Yes, it certainly is time. Time to cut these lunatics loose!

We all know the other one, Marco Rubio, pretended to be a Cuban "exile" his entire adult life, before someone exposed the fact his parents came here BEFORE THE REVOLUTION.

Guess they "escaped" from Fulgencio Batista, the bloody dictator who chose the two Diaz-Balart brothers' father, Rafael Diaz to serve in his cabinet after he was the Cuban Speaker of the House.
